Lionel Messi and free-kicks are a match made in heaven for Barcelona, especially after his performance against Espanyol.
#OJOALDATO – Messi ha marcado 18 goles de falta directa en La Liga en los últimos 4 años (desde el 1 de enero de 2014 hasta hoy). En ese mismo período de tiempo sólo hay un equipo de las 5 grandes ligas que le iguale: la Juventus (también 18, pero con seis lanzadores diferentes).

Lo que Messi ha hecho por si solo, en la Juve lo han tenido que hacer entre Dybala (8), Pjanic (4), Pirlo (3), Tévez (1), Pogba (1) y Bernardeschi (1).

2 sensational free kicks from Messi again tonight. 10 in all in 2018. Ludicrously good. Anyone who watches a lot of football and has any understanding of the game knows he’s on a different planet to everyone else.

If Messi keeps putting in these types of performances, maybe he'll be able to finish in 4th place next year in the Ballon d'Or.
